Vt. Stat. Ann. tit. 13, § 2806

If any part or provision of this section or its application to any person or circumstances is for any reason adjudged invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, that judgment shall be limited in its effect to the facts involved in the controversy in which that judgment shall have been rendered and shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this section or its application to other persons and circumstances; and the Legislature declares that it would have enacted this section without the invalid part, provision, or application had that invalidity been apparent.
